I'm all in favor of encouraging more operators and different modes,
but I don't think multiplying scores is a good way to do it. Your
policy would indeed encourage CW, but it would also have the effect of
discouraging phone. Is that what you want?

IMO, it is better to have separate classes for CW, phone and mixed and
let people enter what ever class they want.
